In Beardy Alun <

My reply is at the bottom of your sent message:
All looked good for a while, until I tried to use the backslash key
and out popped a hash. Could it be that the USB keyboard supplied by
Dell doesn't quite work as well as the PS2 and older keyboards in
DosBox? I've tried using the scan keyboard function supplied with
Xkeyb19 to create a new .key file for this keyboard whilst in the
Microsoft XP DOS environment with no success. Many thanks for your
help

Alun,
I'm going to be completely honest with you. I haven't a clue but in turn I
suspect that the USB keyboard may, indeed, be a part of the problem. I would
give it a shot with a PS2 keyboard and see if that fixes the problem. While
it's not a long term solution it might get you by. Beyond that, have you
tried to find an alternative application that's newer and doesn't rely on
DOS? I realize that this may not be something that can even be done, more so
if it's propriatary and the company is no longer around, but MOST
applications often have freeware alternatives. Give
www.snapfiles.com a try
to see if there's something that fits your needs as well if you'd like.
They're good about letting you know if it's ad supported (most aren't there)
and they only keep 'clean' files there for the most part. I've never found a
single bit of malware there.
